Sophie Hargrove graduated from Kenyon College in 2020 with her BA in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing. Her thesis was a collection of her own poetry, mostly exploring issues of addiction and family relationships. In college, Sophie’s literary studies focused heavily on modern and postmodern literature, African American literature, and Irish literature. After (virtual) graduation, Sophie spent a year teaching K-8 students at Princeton Montessori school and tutoring students privately in History and Literacy. Subsequently, she worked as an administrative assistant in the Princeton area and in local government in Montgomery Township. In her free time, Sophie enjoys running, writing, collaging, baking, singing, pestering her beloved cat, Juno, and reading overdue library books at her local dive bar.
Sophie’s literary interests these days trend heavily toward contemporary autofictive novels and short stories. At Villanova, Sophie hopes to continue exploring instances of non-traditional addiction and its effect on human relationships in postmodern and contemporary literature.
